The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 372

“Cough!”

The one-eyed man, suddenly seized by the neck, thrashed in astonishment.

However, there was absolutely no way to shake off the terrifying grip that choked his breath.

Before long, his complexion turned pale, and he knelt powerlessly.

His only eye was filled with terror.

Only then did he meet the cold gaze looking down at him.

‘A master!’

Meeting the opponent’s icy gaze, his whole body froze.

Even though his blood points weren’t targeted, he couldn’t even twitch a finger, let alone resist.

An overwhelming aura of a different dimension was crushing his lungs.

Dan Akseon, staring intently at the bloodless face of the one-eyed man, suddenly spoke.

“Why are you alright?”

The unspeakable hell that had descended upon the world.

Dan Akseon was furious that the person who orchestrated this was so unscathed.

That’s why he couldn’t forgive him even more.

“Kuh….”

The head of the Black Shadow Squad.

A suppressed groan escaped from the mouth of Jok Cheol-ak, the One-Eyed Owl Claw.

The tremendous force felt like it would break his neck at any moment.

His complexion rapidly turned from pale to purple.

His only eyeball was bloodshot, as if it would pop out at any moment.

Just when he thought he would die from being strangled.

“Huh?”

“Chief!”

Black-clad figures emerged from all over the village in response to the sudden situation, surrounding Dan Akseon.

“How dare you!”

Jok Cheol-ak’s subordinates, who were shouting at Dan Akseon, flinched and involuntarily took a step back.

It was because of the chilling gaze that slowly swept across their faces.

“You guys are alright too.”

Fierce murderous intent seethed deep within Dan Akseon’s heart.

The men who faced that eerie energy felt a chill run down their spines.

The Black Shadow Squad warriors, finally realizing that Dan Akseon was a master who could not be ignored, exchanged glances.

After a moment.

“Attack!”

At someone’s shout, the Black Shadow Squad warriors rushed towards Dan Akseon all at once.

Thud.

“Huh?”

Bewilderment leaked from someone’s mouth.

It was because he saw the sight of his colleague, who had been running side by side, being cut in half at the waist and falling to the floor.

It was also then that he felt a sharp pain piercing his chest.

In the moment of his death, bleeding from his split chest.

What he saw last was the limbs of his colleagues soaring into the air and their heads falling off powerlessly.

“……!”

The Black Shadow Squad warriors stopped in shock.

A transparent ice blade floating in the air.

A blade whose existence they wouldn’t even have known if it weren’t stained with red blood was slowly turning towards them.

As they looked around in bewilderment and fear, they saw the figure of a person.

A woman scattering a cold gaze like eternal snow.

The frost that had fallen white beneath her feet was rushing towards them, following her gesture.

“Gasp!”

The Black Shadow Squad, belatedly sensing the danger, tried to turn around and run away.

However, the frost that had already climbed up their ankles had quickly covered their knees.

Crack.

“Aaaagh!”

The remnants of the Black Shadow Squad, whose frozen legs shattered and collapsed violently, screamed and struggled.

They crawled, supporting themselves with their arms on the ground, trying to escape the scene at any cost, but….

Cho Ak-ryang wasn’t going to let that happen.

Thwack!

The Black Shadow Squad remnants turned even more pale at the sight of their colleague’s head exploding like a watermelon from a sudden gust of wind.

Cho Ak-ryang, with indifferent eyes, moved his steps and trampled on the back of a man crawling on the floor.

Crack.

One of the Black Shadow Squad remnants, his spine shattered, vomited dark red blood and died.

Beom Gye-wi wasn’t just standing by either.

Thwack! Crack!

Blood splattered everywhere and screams of agony followed from his kicks, which sent his figure flying lightly.

“S, save me….”

“We were just following orders….”

The only two remaining Black Shadow Squad remnants pleaded with pale faces.

The time it took for all those people to be annihilated was only a breath or so.

They prided themselves on not being second to anyone when it came to venom in this field, but this time the opponent was too bad.

However, from the beginning, Beom Gye-wi had no intention of listening to their excuses.

So he answered by reaching out to them.

“Cough!”

“Keuk!”

The men, their necks grabbed by Beom Gye-wi’s hand as if sucked in by a terrifying suction force, struggled and gasped.

But that was only for a moment.

Whoosh.

Soon, crimson flames soared from their seven orifices [body openings, like eyes, nostrils, mouth, etc.].

Rustle.

“……!”

Jok Cheol-ak stared at Dan Akseon with an astonished expression, witnessing his subordinates turning into black ashes and scattering into the air in an instant.

Only then did he realize who the opponent in front of him was.

He squeezed out the remaining strength and barely shouted.

“I have something to say!”

Dan Akseon, who had been staring down at Jok Cheol-ak, released his hand and took a step back.

Jok Cheol-ak, coughing and touching his neck, hurriedly opened his mouth with a pale face.

“It is true that we sold the Paradise Mountain [likely a place or resource of great value] to them. However, it is unfair to hold us solely responsible for their destruction.”

“…….”

Dan Akseon was dumbfounded.

He was speechless at the shameless attitude of the person who caused this hell.

“It was their own foolishness and desire that harmed them! Those who threw themselves into pleasure clearly contributed to it!”

Even in this situation, Dan Akseon’s eyes flashed with blue light at the sight of Jok Cheol-ak cunningly rolling his eyes.

“No matter how much you excuse yourself, the sin you have committed will not disappear. Whether it becomes a rock or sand, it will sink in water.”

The Black Shadow Squad, and the White Social Group lurking behind them.

In the end, they will surely have to bear this karma.

“Where is the White Social Group leader?”

Jok Cheol-ak was silent at Dan Akseon’s question.

How long has it been?

Perhaps he judged that he could not escape this place alive anyway.

Jok Cheol-ak began to chuckle.

Then, he suddenly shouted with inner energy.

“Kill each other now! Anyone in front of you! I will bestow Paradise Mountain as you wish to the survivor!”

As soon as those words were finished, the villagers who had been lying scattered everywhere staggered and raised their figures.

Then they rushed towards each other.

Some were strangling each other’s necks with their bare hands, and some were picking up weapons lying on the floor and swinging them wildly.

Some even rushed towards Dan Akseon and the Three Divine Devils.

“Paradise Mountain! They’ll give us Paradise Mountain!”

Each of them had eyes gleaming with madness.

Dan Akseon felt chills down his spine as he faced them.

People were pouring out from all over the village to get Paradise Mountain, not even hesitating to commit murder.

A scene of carnage unfolded in an instant.

“Doctor Dan, what should we do?”

Cho Ak-ryang frowned at Beom Gye-wi’s flustered question.

Even if they were rushing in with murderous intent, the opponents were ordinary people who had not learned martial arts.

Moreover, he could not use killing moves against those who were not even mentally sound.

“Subdue them first!”

With those words, Cho Ak-ryang flew into the air and began to target the blood points [acupuncture points used in martial arts] of the villagers.

Beom Gye-wi and Han Seol-hwa also belatedly flew in different directions.

As they stepped forward, it didn’t take long for all the villagers to be subdued.

However, there were still many victims in the process.

“Keuheuh, it’s useless.”

Jok Cheol-ak, who met Dan Akseon’s gaze as he glared at him, curled up in a twisted smile.

“How long can you keep them in that state? Even if they wake up, they will only look for Paradise Mountain until they die. They will do anything. Whether it’s murder or selling people.”

There was no defense mechanism in their minds, which were already soaked in Paradise Mountain.

Ethics, laws, and conscience had long been swallowed up by the pleasure in front of them.

“You never hesitate to do heinous things to the end.”

“Whose fault is that?”

Jok Cheol-ak continued mockingly towards Dan Akseon, who was rebuking him.

“Don’t forget. You guys pushed me like this. If you hadn’t come here in the first place, they wouldn’t have had to die like that.”

Dan Akseon finally burst into anger at the opponent’s shamelessness and pettiness in blaming all his evil deeds on his own.

Jok Cheol-ak grinned with a pale face at the sight of Dan Akseon grabbing the black Mukbong [likely a type of weapon or staff] that he was wearing on his waist.

“Yes, kill me.”

“…….”

“Why? Did you think I would beg you to spare me now?”

It had been a long time since he had thrown himself into this world and given up on his attachment to life.

Either way, the result will not change if this matter is reported to the Clan Lord.

It’s the same whether you die this way or that way.

Dan Akseon’s profound gaze was fixed on Jok Cheol-ak.

“Death is not all the same.”

“What?”

“You will experience the most terrible death in the world.”

Jok Cheol-ak couldn’t say anything, where had the initial momentum gone?

Just meeting his cold eyes made him feel like his whole body was being cut off.

Above all, Dan Akseon’s words did not feel like a simple threat.

“I’ll show you the terrible pain as much as the hell you created. And you will be given enough time to realize it.”

In Dan Akseon’s hand, which had gone into his pocket and came out, was already a needle carved with the image of a demon.

It was the Demonic Spirit Needle, a relic of his mother, the Demon Physician.

Stab.

Jok Cheol-ak, his eyes wide open, trembled.

It was because of the needle that had penetrated the Misim blood point [a specific acupuncture point] located between his eyebrows.

“I promise.”

Beyond the fading consciousness, Dan Akseon’s voice penetrated Jok Cheol-ak’s mind.

“You will regret it, and you will regret it again.”

“……!”

“Because there is no salvation in the hell I created.”

White Social Group Headquarters.

An old man, leaning against a grand chair with a languid look, clicked his tongue as if disappointed at the report on the Black Shadow Squad.

A skinny old man who looked like he would fall over if touched.

However, the gaze flowing from his eyes was extremely sharp.

Although he was only five feet tall, the eerie atmosphere that made his chest feel stuffy just by facing him had a strange power that overwhelmed the masses as much as his ominous name.

The head of the White Social Group.

Won Ji-geuk, the eldest of the Jongjae Twin Fiends [likely a title or group affiliation], slowly nodded at the news of the Black Shadow Squad’s annihilation.

He didn’t seem to care much as he had already expected it to some extent.

He stretched lazily and opened his mouth to the black-clad man kneeling in front of him.

“Recover all the funds from the Black Shadow Squad that were previously approved for execution. In addition, dispose of all the Paradise Mountain circulating in each branch. The deadline is one month. Sell them all, even if you have to cut the price.”

“Is it just the funds that are being recovered?”

Won Ji-geuk grinned at his subordinate’s question.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Ah, no!”

The chilling murderous intent hidden beyond his smile.

The man, sensing this, hurriedly bowed his head.

Not to mention the investment funds, the manpower poured into the Black Shadow Squad was considerable.

But for some reason, the Clan Lord was trying to get rid of them all at once.

But he couldn’t dare to ask why.

It was because he knew the Clan Lord’s cruel nature and skills better than anyone else.

As the subordinate left, Won Ji-geuk slowly raised his figure.

Then he moved his steps and went down the stairs leading to the lower floor.

A huge table placed alone in a large conference room.

The four people who were each occupying a seat around it all rose to their feet at the appearance of Won Ji-geuk.

They were the owners of the merchant groups, led by the Golden Dragon Merchant Group, who were now completely at odds with the Divine Primacy Merchant Group.
